I birded the park with the help of Brian Tannahill from 7:00 am to
12:45 pm. It was a very busy place with warbler singing with gusto,
likely glad they survived last night viscous thunderstorms and heavy
rain. Here are the totals: Yellow-rump: 145; Palm: 68; Black-and-
white: 30: Nashville: 23: Black-throated Green & Black-throated Blue:
12; Bay-breasted: 3; Northern Waterthrush: 4; Magnolia and Tennessee:
3; Ovenbird: 2; singles of Wilson's, Common Yellowthroat, Louisiana
Waterthrush, Cape May and Wilson's. Special thanks for Bruce
Wilkinson who steered us to a very uncooperative Wilson's Warbler.
There were at least 10 Great-crested Flycatchers in the park. The
White-crowned Sparrows seem have been ground by the storm in large
numbers, our final count was 120 (with 50+ White-throats).
Directions: south of the Kipling/Lakeshore Boulevard intersection in
Toronto.
